When can you gauge that your kid is going to be excellent at school?

Hey , just relax . Your kid is just in the kindergarten so don't just stress upon and marks and grades right from this age . You seems to come from a country which gives more importance to education . You seem to be an achiever ACADEMICALLY and that shouldn't be a reason that you should force your child to be so . Academic intelligence is one thing that does not judge your talent . SO why do you want your child to be only academically talented ? Going by your way to speech , you must be from a economically developing country where job opportunities are given according to your marks rather than your talent . I am from India ( hope you have heard about it ) . It is a economically developing country where there is a burst of job opportunities for educated personnel . So there has been a surge of graduates in our country who are academically great with excellent grades . Here in India , jobs are given based upon the marks of the graduates rather than their talent . So here , we got only people who want good grades . So they just have bookish knowledge and high grades without any practical knowledge . I come from a middle class family where education , marks and grades were considered the biggest wealth and I was forced to get good marks right from the kindergarten classes . This has been the condition of thousands of students across the country where from a young age , they are forced towards good marks instead of good education . So today I feel the lack of practical knowledge and any other knowledge apart from my studies . I accept that studies and grades are important , but not at such an young age . Those are the years of life which are to be enjoyed rather and just going to school and being a book-worm . And you say getting good grades at 3-4 years is academic excellence ? Those are the ages of life when students don't even know what they are learning . They don't know what are grades and marks . They just learn for fun and they do it without knowing that they are actually studying . In my country , almost all students show very good grades until they reach 2nd or 3rd grade because they learn for fun and not for the sake of it . But once they start progressing through the classes , they start feeling the toughness . Whatever , just don't start the academic imprisonment on your children from such an young age . Otherwise they too will have a terrible childhood and they will miss much of their childhood fun and they will have to regret for it when they grow up .

i think that is true, you have good children and i think they have show to you that they are excellence and they have a big potential. now one thing that you have to do for your children, you should support them in many aspect. thay will need your help and support when they are teenagers, it is the most risky moment for your kids. altough when they are young have excellence academic, you should keep them in their way. don't let your kids get bad influences in out there. congratulation to you. keep them well.

I know how it feel jure, we always want our kids to excel especially if we parents were achievers back then. I was also an honor student all my life lol at first i expect my kids to be this way too... but lately i have been thinking i should not focus more on it rather than focus on real stuff, sometimes i could honestly say i am expecting too much, putting pressure on their school work, watching their grades, looking at their perfect scores and i also got upset when i see low grades and i tend to get pissed when i see it. My hubby on the other hand reminds me to chill.. to not expect too much from them rather help them, rather make them realize that school is not everything and they are still in grade school and that is not the gauge on who they will become in the future. And i know my husband is right, so lately i do still get happy when i see good grades but everyone do gets happy but i see low ones instead of letting them study more, i just tell them to do better next time and we go eat ice cream.. or have fun, play with our paint and crafts..somehow they will just learn and ace school without me putting pressure for them in that way they will learn to love school and studying instead of getting pressured.

hi, do not be strict with your kids from their so young age ,ok? High scores do not mean high ability. And ther are many unsure factors in their growing time. i think as parents should play a guide role. Insight what they are good at,and then favor what they really like, correct their wrong thinkings and behaviors at the same time.
